Thomas & Coffey to implement the latest release of Mainpac Enterprise
The enterprise asset management (EAM) software company Mainpac Industrial services has been commissioned by Thomas & Coffey Limited to implement advanced resource scheduling and work order management functionality in the latest release of Mainpac Enterprise. According to a press release made by the company, this move was taken so as to enable the company become the number one in asset management for its clients in the mining, heavy industry, manufacturing, defence, utilities, energy and healthcare sectors.
At present, Thomas & Coffey uses an ERP system called Timberline which manages financials and job costing and also has several small niche software applications which manage certification of its staff, scheduling and the management of customer assets.
“We are aiming to lift the bar in asset management and to deliver the sort of information and services that our clients have a right to expect,” said Thomas & Coffey managing director, Martin Whittaker, adding, “Until we partnered with Mainpac to implement this advanced functionality, we were not able to communicate very well to our clients information about the things that really matter in managing major assets.
There are many ways of monitoring and reporting on asset costs. But crucial information concerns things like unplanned downtime, re-works, start-up time after shutdowns and the savings that can be achieved by addressing down time.
Mainpac Enterprise represents a huge advance towards retaining detailed knowledge of complex and difficult to maintain client assets and therefore to communicating to the client the important things about the management of that asset.”
An interface between Timberline and Mainpac ensures a transparent flow of information between Mainpac and the ERP system’s payroll application, Mainpac said.
